"If you dare to struggle, you dare to win. If you dare not struggle, then damn it, you don't deserve to win."
--- Fred Hampton
December 4, 1969 - Black Panther party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police officers with cooperation from the FBI.
Hampton had founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party at the age of 20. He led in establishing the Breakfast for Children program and a free health clinic on the west side of the City. A main purpose of the Panthers was to resist police violence.
One of Hampton's achievements was to persuade Chicago's most powerful street gangs to agree on a non-aggression pact. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, however, considered the Panthers as "the greatest threat to the internal security of the country." The Panther party headquarters had been raided three times with over 100 members arrested.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Frank Church (D-Idaho), revealed in 1976 that William O'Neal, Hampton's bodyguard, was an FBI informant who had delivered an apartment floor-plan to the Bureau with an "X" marking the bed where Hampton died. About 100 shots were fired by the police, just one from the building. The survivors, including Deborah Johnson, Hampton's pregnant girlfriend, were arrested and charged with attempting to murder the police.
âYou can kill a revolutionary, but you canât kill a revolution!â
~ Fred Hampton
Today in Labor History December 4, 1969: Chicago Black Panthers, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, were assassinated by the Chicago Police, with assistance from the FBI. Hampton was chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party (BPP) and deputy chairman of the national BPP. He founded the antiracist, anti-classist Rainbow Coalition, which included the Black Panthers, Young Lords and Young Patriots (a radical poor white peopleâs movement). On the night of the assassination, an infiltrator drugged Hampton with barbiturates. He remained unconscious when the cops entered his bedroom, dragged away his pregnant girlfriend, then fired several shots into his chest and head.
For more on the revolutionary anti-racist organizing of the Young Patriots and their role in the Rainbow Coalition, read âHillbilly Nationalists,â by Amy Sonie and James Tracy.

Why Calling Nick Fuentes a âWhite Fred Hamptonâ Isnât Just Wrong â Itâs Threatening
Frimpongâs video titled âNick Fuentes: White Fred Hampton. Hear Me Out!â attempts to position Fuentes â a known white nationalist â as analogous to Fred Hampton, the legendary Black Panther and multiracial workingâclass organizer. On its face, the move seems provocative â perhaps intentionally so â but on closer inspection it reveals a deeply incoherent political logic, one that betrays both the memory of Hampton and any serious account of solidarity across race, class, and [âŠ]
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1969, #BlackPantherParty member #FredHampton spoke at meeting of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. A founding member of #AmnestyInternational, #LuisKutner, reported on the speech to the #FBI and the FBI killed Hampton two weeks later.
"If you go to school you should wield the pen because the pen is strong too. Wield the pen on these fascists and call them what they are: highway robbers. They don't care about the rights of anybody, they don't think we need to have lawyers to defend ourselves or even the right to trial. These fascists are more fascist than the Germans could ever be." â #FredHampton #BlackHistory
Someone from Find-a-Grave-dot-com posted a photo of Hampton's son, posing with his father's vandalized tombstone. Louisiana police have allegedly shot it repeatedly.

âBut when I leave, youâll remember I said with the last words on my lips, that I am a revolutionary. And youâre gonna have to keep on saying that. Youâre gonna have to say that I am the proletariat. I am the people. Iâm not the pig. You got to make a distinction. And the people are going to have to attack the pigs. The people are going to have to stand up against the pigâ. --Chairman Fred Hampton
